A Permanent Member of the Family Unabridged , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min
A masterly collection of new stories from Russell Banks, acclaimed author of The Sweet Hereafter and Rule of the Bone, which maps the complex terrain of the modern American family. The New York Times lauds Russell Banks as "the most compassionate fiction writer working today," and hails him as a novelist who delivers, "wrenching, panoramic visions of American moral life." Long celebrated for his unflinching, empathetic works that explore the unspoken but hard realities of contemporary culture, Banks now turns his keen intelligence and emotional acuity on perhaps his most complex subject yet: the shape of family in its many forms. Suffused with Banks's trademark lyricism and reckless humor, the twelve stories in A Permanent Member of the Family examine the myriad ways we try - and sometimes fail - to connect with one another, as we seek a home in the world. In the title story, a father looks back on the legend of the cherished family dog whose divided loyalties mirrored the fragmenting of his marriage. Moving between the stark beauty of winter in upstate New York and the seductive heat of Florida, A Permanent Member of the Family charts with subtlety and precision the ebb and flow of both the families we make for ourselves and the ones we're born into, as it asks how we know the ones we love and, in turn, ourselves. One of our most acute and penetrating authors, Banks's virtuosic writing animates stories that are profoundly humane, deeply - and darkly - funny, and absolutely unforgettable. ungekürzt.

Serenity Found: More Unauthorized Essays on Joss Whedon's Firefly Universe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 426min
A lot has happened since Finding Serenity. We learned River's secret; Mal took on the Alliance. Our favorite crew became Big Damn Heroes. And the Browncoats proved that hard work, passion, and a little fan coordination can do the impossible. Serenity Found takes the contents of Finding Serenity even further, exploring not just the show but the events of the film as well, to create an anthology that's even more thought-provoking, fascinating, and far-thinking than its predecessor. Acclaimed science fiction author Orson Scott Card lauds Serenity as film sci-fi finally done right Writer and comedian Natalie Haynes reveals the real feminist savvy of the Firefly universe: the girls get the guns and the gags Pop culture critic Michael Marano connects damaged, ass-kicking River to the other weaponized women of the Whedonverse Multiverse executive producer Corey Bridges explains why the world of Firefly is the perfect setting for an MMORPG Mutant Enemy's visual effects wizard Loni Peristere relates what he's learned from Joss about telling stories, and tells a story of his own about Serenity's design Television Without Pity recapper Jacob Clifton frames Serenity as a parable about media: how it controls us, how we can control it and how to separate the signal from the noise And Nathan Fillion, Firefly and Serenity's Captain Malcolm Reynolds, shares his affinity for Mal and his love of Mal's ship and crew.

Fritjof Capra and the Systems View of Life: Short Biography, Book Reviews, and Comments: Great Minds, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 765min
Fritjof Capra and the Systems View of Life (Great Minds, Book 3): 2017 Revised, Updated, and Reformatted Edition is a passionate study about the great contemporary physicist and a review of all of his published books, including extensive quotes. The author considers Fritjof Capra as one of the most important authors on new science and systems research and considers as genius Capra's unique gift to formulate and explain complex scientific and philosophical insights and interrelations in a way that the educated listener can understand. He sees certain parallels in Capra's life in the lives of Albert Einstein and Wilhelm Reich who, like him, were from Germanic origin and after their immigration to the United States only wrote and published in English. The author especially lauds Capra's basically non-judgmental worldview and his ability to understand people from ultra-orthodox to very liberal with the same generosity and magnanimity. This can be seen, inter alia, in a lesser known volume, entitled Uncommon Wisdom which is a recollection of conversations with remarkable people, a kaleidoscope of anecdotes from the lives of truly lively and communicative humans. The author especially notes Capra's merit is to have introduced the systems view of life to scientific research, while he is not the originator of the idea, which was mainly developed by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, Ilya Prigogine, Humberto Maturana, and Francisco Varela. But Capra has carefully surveyed and summarized this important research that is generally difficult to grasp to the non-scientific listener, and has rendered the important idea accessible for the interested lay audience. ungekürzt.

Untimely Considerations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 777min
Untimely Considerations contain four essays: 'David Strauss - Writer and Confessor'; 'On the Use and Abuse of History for Life'; 'Schopenhauer as Educator'; and 'Richard Wagner at Bayreuth'. The essays date from the early part of Nietzsche’s life when his Romantic view on life and art was coloured by the powerful writings and personalities of such figures as Schopenhauer and Wagner - as the titles of two of the essays proclaim. Published between 1873 and 1876, they were presented under the umbrella title 'Unzeitgemässe Betrachtungen', which has been variously translated as 'Thoughts Out Of Season', 'Untimely Meditations', 'Unfashionable Observations' - and 'Untimely Considerations'. They reflect his early interest particularly in culture, philosophy, and the interplay between art, science and life - topics which he would revisit over the following years. In ‘David Strauss: the Confessor and Writer’, he labels Strauss - a prominent Protestant theologian of the time - as a Philistine, in humorous but derogatory style. In ‘On the Use and Abuse of History for Life’ Nietzsche sets out to re-examine the role of history in informing contemporary life, and, controversially promotes the importance of individual ‘great men’ rather than the ‘masses’. This theme is continued, in a way, in the third essay, ‘Schopenhauer as Educator’, where he lauds those individual and honest qualities of his philosophic mentor. However, Nietzsche faced more difficulty with the final essay - where he considers both the work and the personality of Wagner - because his own attitudes towards the challenging composer were changing. These four works together present a fascinating portrait of the younger Nietzsche emerging into the highly charged and figure he was to become. Translations: David Strauss and Richard Wagner - Anthony M Ludovici ; On the Use and Abuse of History for Life - Ian Johnston; Schopenhauer as Educator by Adrian Collins. ungekürzt.

Miss You Mr. Mercer
Recording as a vocal piano duo is tantamount to doing a high-wire act without a net - there's simply no margin for error. Musicians less talented than the principals here don't even attempt it. For singer Shari Lynn and pianist Bob Corwin though, it's no big deal. Between the two of them Shari and Bob have been pleasing listeners for half a century, in concert halls, posh showrooms, and more intimate 'cabaret' venues. Since moving to Hawaii in 1976, Shari has developed a cadre of loyal fans throughout the Islands where she performs on radio and TV and at the most popular venues including cabarets (she is a fellow of the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Cabaret Symposium) in Symphony concerts, on cruise ships and stars in numerous classic Broadway musicals. Shari's acting talents have earned her six Po'okelas (Hawaii's 'Tony Award'.) She was named 1994's Best Actress in Hawaii's People's Choice Awards and has made appearances on Magnum P.I., Jake and The Fatman, Hart To Hart, Charlie's Angels and The Jefferson's. With a repertoire of over 1500 songs, her forte is jazz-tinged tunes of the 1930's, '40's and '50's as well as Broadway showstoppers. Wayne Harada of The Honolulu Advertiser calls her 'a sensuous performer' and lauds her for her 'way with lyrics' and 'feel for mood.' Thomas Tucker of The Los Angeles Herald Dispatch says 'she sings a song with exquisite delicacy that forces the audience to listen with their hearts.' Choosing Bob Corwin to accompany her on this album of Johnny Mercer tunes was no happenstance for Shari. The two gigged together in Honolulu before Bob moved back to the mainland. His list of credits includes recording with jazz immortals such as Chet Baker, Peggy Lee, Carmen McCrae, Anita O'day and Phil Woods. (Bob says he enjoyed working with Shari as much or more than the aforementioned superstars.) Corwin was a logical choice for this album, he was Johnny Mercer's accompanist for 18 years. As with Shari, Bob's artistry doesn't depend on frills and histrionics. Bob's one of those rare pianists who just loves to accompany. His comping cords and runs here are things of spare beauty. The Johnny Mercer songs in this collection are perfect vehicles for introducing Shari Lynn's vocal abilities. Mercer's catalogue is widely diverse and offers Shari the opportunity to show her own diversity and creativity. Although most of the tunes here are well known, Miss Lynn has the knack of springing subtle surprises on the listener with a scoop here or a bent note there to make these a fresh experience. She 'acts' the lyric for us, each song becomes it's own perfect little play - all the while singing in tune and on time. High praise for Shari's renditions comes from no other than the daughter of Johnny Mercer, Mandy Mercer Nader. 'Shari has a beautiful voice and I'm pleased that she's recorded my father's songs. I particularly enjoyed Midnight Sun and Dream.' And after you hear these tracks, you'll want to tell those who worry about the future of our good ole' American standards that they're in good hands. With any luck, Bob Corwin and Shari Lynn will keep the music playing for a long time to come. - excerpted from the liner notes by Sam Polson, award-winning jazz CD reviewer and photojournalist.- Shop: odax
